Israeli airstrikes on Gaza kill 20 Palestinians

Gaza: Twenty Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded in Israeli airstrikes on Wednesday on several areas in Gaza, including starving civilians waiting for aid in the north, center, and south of the strip.

Medical sources said that two civilians were killed and others were injured when Israeli warplanes targeted a group of citizens near Al Zahraa School in the Al Daraj neighborhood in central Gaza City.

Another person was killed in an Israeli airstrike on a group of citizens near the Latin Monastery Church in the Al Zeitoun neighborhood.

Another citizen also succumbed to his injuries after his home in the Nadim area of the Al Zeitoun neighborhood was targeted by Israeli warplanes on Tuesday, joining his four sons who died instantly.

In the central Gaza Strip, Al Awda Hospital reported the death of four citizens and the injury of 13 others as a result of the occupation targeting gatherings of citizens near the aid distribution point on Salah Al Din Street, south of the Wadi Gaza area.

Five citizens were killed and others were injured as a result of artillery shelling targeting those waiting for aid near the Netzarim axis in the central Gaza Strip, while a child was killed as a result of shelling on the New Camp area, north of Nuseirat.

In the south, sources said that six citizens were killed and more than 40 others were injured by Israeli forces' fire near an aid center north of Rafah. Seven others were also injured when an Israeli drone bombed a group of citizens while they were filling water in the Al Mawasi area west of the city.

Israeli targeting of civilians across Gaza has intensified since the resumption of bombing on March 18, following a two-month pause under a ceasefire agreement.

This coincides with an unprecedented starvation campaign targeting civilians in the Strip, which has claimed dozens of lives due to starvation, amidst deafening international silence.
